PORTUGUE 112
Accelerated Elementary Portuguese
Magda Silva
Description from DukeHub
Designed for highly motivated undergraduate and graduate students as well as fluent speakers of another Romance language, this course covers much of the elementary language sequence (Portuguese 101-102). Most grammar and textbook work is done outside of class, freeing class time for more communicative activities. Conversation sessions provide intensive work on grammar focused through discussion on issues raised in films, news media, reading, music. It is expected that students who take this course will be able to place directly into Portuguese 203; however, placement into Portuguese 102 may be recommended in some cases. Meets four times a week.
